Attempting to enable LAN & internet access under Knoppix.
Directions say to:
1) chroot... (part of the remastering procedure).
2) mount -t proc /proc proc
3)  "Edit /etc/resolv.conf and add your name server"
       (one of those ominous "all ya gotta do is ..." statements :-)).
I know this is a stupid question, but what is a "name server",
and is a related entry in resolv.conf required to access the internet ?
If so, what do I put in this file ?
Many thanks,

Mark Gilmore
